Graphic stating “There are three censorship bills in the House and Senate that pose a direct danger to the freedom to read” accompanied by a danger symbol. The Bad: HR 7661 aka the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act. Point one: uses broad and vague language that doesn’t clearly define the terms sexually oriented materials. Point two: explicitly includes gender dysphoria and “transgenderism” targeting LGBTQ+ stories. Point three: expands government control over education and undermines the 1st amendment The Worse: HR 8705 aka the CHARLIE Act. Point one: limits teachers from discussing topics like gender identity, racial history, and social justice. Point two: vague and politically charged, this bill reeks of radical indoctrination. Point three: potential to weaponize federal education funding and limit teacher discretion. Point four: named after Charlie Kirk. The Downright Ugly: HR 2616 aka “PROTECT Kids Act”. Point one: will force teachers to out LGBTQ+ students. Point two: contains no safe harbor language for at-risk students in potentially abusive households. Point three: restricts educational freedom and safe expression.
